STORIES FROM THE EDGE

New YA anthology OUT NOW!

Includes MAGPIE SOUP, a prequel (of sorts) to 15 Days without a
Head, about Mina before she met Laurence and Jay.

Thanks to Gabriel Cheung for sending in this brilliant kit of many colours.

Download the FREE Charlie Merrick Activity Pack and have a go at designing your
own Dream Football Kit, or make some football cards for your team. Email your designs to the address on the pack, and I'll post my favourites here.

I really like the design of these two kits sent in by Mario Shehu. They remind me a bit of my favourite Birmingham City 'penguin' kit—especially the blue, white and green one in
the background. Great stuff, thanks Mario.

These fantastic kits were designed by Year 6 pupils at St. Saviour's School in E14. (click the shirt to see the full set)

Local independent bookshops are sadly becoming a rare sight on our high streets. (click the image above to find your nearest indie store) If you're lucky enough to have one, and
you'd like a copy of one of my books, it would be great if you'd buy it from there. Thanks and happy reading!
